John Tuschen (1945-2005) was an American poet named the first Poet Laureate of Madison, Wisconsin by mayor Paul Soglin in 1977, and served in that role for over 20 years. [1]

His first book of poems, Tuschenetrics: Poems from a Cloth Room, and Paris, was published in 1974[2]

A video version of his poem "Uncle Harry's Tombstone" created by his son Jordan Caylor was an Official Selection at "Zebra 6 Video Poetry Film Festival", Berlin, Germany, 2012; [3] an audio version of that poem along with other works aired on Madison, WI radio station WORT FM. [4] In addition Tuschen's work was featured in a segment of Chicago's Experimental Sound Studio's Sounds From Chicago series in 1991. [5] That program can be heard from an online archive [6] Several articles have been written about Tuschen, which fill in some of the details of his life and times. An article in the Madpoets broadside and webzine [7] as well as an interview in Poetic Voices magazine are available. [8]

Some of his work has been engraved, along with the works of other local poets, into sidewalks in Madison, WI which serve as a permanent memorial. [9]

A new volume of his work was published with a grant from the Madison Arts Commission in 2016. [10]
